[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing I've noticed when interviewing for my biglaw firm is how many students ask questions about work/life balance and having a family, etc. These were questions I (only 12 years further on) would never have asked - they would have guaranteed no offer. Now, we have tons of info to give them on all the work/life balance initiatives we have. But the fact is that at a junior level, in many practice areas, there isn't much balance and work is going to have to come first - that is kind of what we pay the big $$$ for.[/quote] The point is that people understand that and use big law as a stepping stone. A few years can wipe out loans and give you a bit of a nest egg after which you seek out somewhere with work life balance. [/quote]
